Each session is for 1.5 hours. Students not have to wait for any batch to begin. They can drop in at their preferred timings and our faculty team will be there to take a class, twice or thrice a week as per the student’s convenience.

Course Duration

This is a syllabus oriented course, not an hourly based course. However, with our experience, we can affirm that students generally take 50-60 hours to complete each level. Since this is a 1-1 training institute, there is no fixed start and end date to the course. However, students are given a maximum of 6 months from the date of enrollment to complete each level.

Each class lasts for 1.5 hours and approximate course duration per level will be of 2-3 months, depending on the candidate’s attendance frequency as well as grasping capacity.

Approximate time frames:

1 session per week – 4 months per level

2 sessions per week – 3 months per level

3 sessions per week – 2 months per level.
